Orthotics are orthopedic devices that are used to alter or modify foot function and are designed to treat, adjust, and support various biomechanical foot disorders.
Orthotics can be simple, commercially-made devices, sold off the shelf as shoe inserts that are sold over the counter in drug stores or other retail establishments or custom-made devices that are crafted to meet the specific needs of a particular individual.
The finished orthotic is placed in the patient’s shoe to support the foot and eliminate abnormal foot biomechanics by keeping the foot properly aligned. Depending on the patient’s needs, the orthotic may have padding to cushion the foot and make it more comfortable.
